Property, agricultural estate: fortified house from the 13th century, its manager's house, guest house, for sale in Nivernais-Morvan (58, Nièvre): More than 650 m² of living space, 19 rooms; restaurant, guesthouses, and bed and breakfast possible. Two large barns, 3.65 hectares of parkland, courtyards, swimming pool, pastures. An ideal site for a guesthouse, horses, and animals. The layout of this farm, mentioned in 1287 as property of the diocese of Nevers, surrounds its medieval fortified house that overlooks the small village nestled around its Romanesque church and remains a prototype of a fief from that era, amid an astonishingly cheerful and open landscape: fields, pastures, groves, orchards, vineyards, woods, and ponds with varying colors pepper the hills, on the path of evangelizers who came from Smyrna in the second century. This configuration of concentrated buildings, overlooking the estate, persists into this 21st century, following the Napoleonic plan. The village is not lacking in historical figures: several knights from noble Nivernais families succeeded each other "at the castle." In the 15th century, a local usurper resembling Jeanne d'Arc, Jeanne des Armoises, was entrusted with armies that ravaged several regions but was fortunately recognized while passing through the village. In 1708, a valued personage, lord of the commune, advisor to Louis XIV, offered all his properties to the Hôtel-Dieu Saint-Didier de Nevers, built in the medieval period to care for lepers, the needy, and the injured. Between two ancient buttresses, the entrance to the former lower courtyard first reveals, directly ahead, the fortified house at the center of the estate; then, to the left, the long manager's house and its barn/stable forming a right angle, preceded by the cart awning. The grove of deciduous trees casting shade over the southern terrace of the manor conceals it from the view of the guest house whose entrance faces it. The vast barn-stable, at the back of the honor courtyard, opens onto almost 3 hectares of pastures south, west, and north surrounding the six buildings. All around, the varied and hilly landscape offers bucolic views of the hills of the Morvan foothills, crossed by hiking trails. On the road from Nevers to Morvan, the Côtes du Nivernais offer a temperate climate, and the property of more than 650 m² is adaptable for multiple uses: animal husbandry (3 hectares of pastures, lower courtyard); horse guest house (barns, lodgings, rooms, swimming pool); bed and breakfast; professional catering in the manager's house; or simply comfortable homes surrounded by a well-private perimeter. 1) The fortified house, 225.44 m² of living space on one level, full of medieval character, spacious volumes, all comforts (south-north): The stair tower leads via a straight staircase to the vaulted stone cellars at a man's height (one for wine, the other for tasting); and via the spiral staircase to the first floor at ground level on southern and northern terraces, wooded park, and courtyards. Fruit trees nearby in the northern pasture. Through a mullioned door, the common room with American kitchen of about 60 m² reveals wide beams, a large stone fireplace, French doors onto the southern terrace; to the back: toilets and shower. Access to the fuel condensation boiler (2007, cast iron radiators) in a small outbuilding with a superb frame; Living room of about 70 m² with double exposure: timber frames separating the dining area from the living space; insert fireplace; doors onto southern and northern terraces; Corridor distributing: *3 beautiful character bedrooms; *bathroom (stone niche); *toilets; *master bedroom in the gable (about 50 m²): wide beams, monumental fireplace, niche for a small seat. Attic with original superb frame with rafters forming a farm. 2) The manager's house 256 m² of arranged living space (east-west): Ground floor: Large beamed room of 81 m², which can serve as a living room or restaurant, triple exposure, panoramic view of the surrounding countryside; Entrance; living room; toilets; office; shower room. Technical room (fuel boiler 2001). Professional kitchen. Attic converted into an 80 m² apartment: Living room 30 m² with insert fireplace, American kitchen; superb view of fields and hills; 3 bedrooms: from 10 to 20 m² on the floor; Office 8 m²; Shower room fitted and toilets. 3) The guest house or bed and breakfast, private southern terrace and garden surrounded by dry stone walls: Central building: two large suites of about 40 m² (ground floor and first floor), each with shower room and separate toilets; * two attic bedrooms of about 18 m² on the floor, each with shower room and toilets (those are in need of refreshing). * Attached building to the east: Large living room with fireplace and fitted kitchen of about 40 m²; door onto garden and southern terrace; view of the village and hills. * Attached building to the west: awning; shelter of about 80 m² on the floor, and its attic: a volume possibly usable for a flea market. * At the back, facing south, a second awning precedes the pool area (6 x 12 m, chlorine, unheated). The western gardens, also framed by dry stone walls, can provide access to this pool. 4) The barns testify to the former opulence of the large estate mentioned as providing supplies to the Abbey of Notre-Dame de Nevers: medieval barn-stable-winery, with awning, of 200 m² (20 x 10 m): garage, winery side, stable side; lean-to. 19th-century barn-stable with awning, 360 m² (30 x 12 m): central garage, vast stables on either side, loft; lean-to. 5) Small outbuildings to the north, fenced lower courtyard: henhouse, pigsty with 3 pens. 6) The land on the hillside, protected from northern winds by the hill, enjoys a view of almost 360° over the village and its steeple, the woods, opulent fields, and hills; the walls give it a touch of authenticity; no neighbors. The layout of this large noble farm allows for the possession of many animals both outdoors and indoors, close to hiking paths and forests. In the heart of a rich heritage to visit, from the Côtes du Nivernais, Morvan, Nevers: since the Romanesque, medieval periods Guédelon, Vézelay vineyards. Less than 10 minutes from towns with shops and markets. 36 km from Nevers, the prefecture of Nièvre. 32 km from the A77 Paris-Moulins. 25 min from La Charité-sur-Loire (2 h Paris): SNCF station, A77. 30 min from Pouilly-sur-Loire (less than 2 h from Paris): SNCF station, A77.

An 18th century country manor house with an adjoining workshop, conservatory and walled garden in a village in the heart of the Nièvre department . The house is built in the south-east corner of the grounds, set back from a peaceful village street. Part of the building can be seen from the paved courtyard that runs alongside it, providing several access points to the house. You can either enter via the garden or via two other passageways that lead to the first floor. On the garden side, the house shows its original character, that of a multi-storey dwelling with an irregular layout, in fine limestone which has all been rendered except for the ashlar corner ties. Most of the windows, which are rectangular in shape and of varying sizes, are framed in ashlar. The roofs of the various buildings are predominantly four-sided and covered with Burgundy tiles, with the exception of a mansard roof covered with slate over the attic. Built in stone, the building has four storeys, with a ground floor divided between a large living area and another, more technical area. The first floor is entirely devoted to communal areas and the second floor groups together areas to have privacy and rest. There is also an attic at the top of the house. A recent veranda, which is all glass and black metal, sits at the base of the oldest part of the house and opens directly onto the garden. Lastly, a small one-storey house with an attic and cellars, probably dating from the 19th century, flanks the eastern side of the house and forms an extension that connects to it. Topped by a gable roof with Burgundy tiles and enhanced by notable masonry features still present on its stone facades (notably the window frames), it houses a unique room that has been completely restored.

Réf. 4556: For sale near Nevers, authentic manor with its farmhouse. The manor house is set in open countryside in the south of the Nièvre department, around twenty kilometres from Nevers. The setting is very bucolic, with the bocage still very much in evidence, with a happy mix of meadows and cultivated fields. The site is of regional interest for its bocage fauna. Preserving this heritage requires the maintenance of small-scale livestock farming, which is one of the factors in the conservation of grassland environments, hedgerows and watercourses. A well-maintained 80-hectare forest nearby is a great place for hiking. The estate is in the Natura 2000 area. The area is perfectly peaceful, with no nuisances whatsoever. The nearest shops are less than 10 km away. According to the Nièvre archives, the manor house dates back to the 18th century. It belonged to the Benedictine nuns of Nevers, who owned forge mills on the Sardolle, a small river that runs through the property. The presence of slag (siliceous residue from the forge) in the soil around the river attests to the mill's long history of activity. The estate was seized during the Revolution and sold to a notary at the beginning of the 19th century. In 1861, following an epidemic of malaria, all the ponds in the south of the Nivernais plateau were drained and the mills came to a halt. An adjoining locality is called 'l'Étang' and an old dyke, now planted with an elegant mall of lime trees, can still be seen on the property. - The manor : After crossing small country roads and a hamlet with a beautiful Romanesque chapel, the property is accessed via a small valley along a path recently planted with a mall of tulip trees. You have to cross an old stone bridge under which the small river flows to reach the manor. The mill is built on a square plan with a tower on the main façade topped by a lantern. Numerous mullioned windows testify to its age, and the facades are currently of jointed exposed stone, with ashlar corners and window towers. The manor house is accessed via the square tower. An entrance hall with a winding wooden stairway leads to a large dining room-library with low panelling and a Louis XV stone fireplace, followed by a large 46 sqm lounge with large picture windows overlooking the garden. There is also low panelling and another Louis XV wood-burning stove with an insert, topped by a panelled overmantel. Continuing on, there is a fully-equipped kitchen that opens onto a conservatory/dining room, leading to the garden. Next door is a utility room and toilet. On the first floor is a very large 45 sqm suite with 4 windows and a magnificent view over the parkland and surrounding countryside. There is also a large dressing room with window and a bathroom with window. Then there is a second bedroom with its own bathroom. The second floor has a large landing, 2/3 bedrooms and a bathroom. The whole building is very well maintained. - The farmhouse Opposite, in the courtyard, a large, early 19th-century farmhouse 255 sqm is set in the continuity of the remaining dyke. It is built of exposed stone with dressed stone window and door towers. The flat-tiled roof is pierced by three attractive wooden dormer windows. On either side of the façade are a wisteria and a vine that produces excellent table grapes. In the grounds, we find a barn with a floor surface area of just under 150 sqm, with a canopy and a very fine exposed roof frame. Adjoining the barn, on the edge of the orchard, is a small building that must have been a former greenhouse, plus an kennel and henhouse. The entrance to the farmhouse is through a small-paned glass door. The entrance hall leads on the right to a very large 60 sqm through lounge with 3 windows and two French window. It has marble floors, a Louis XV stone fireplace and a large wainscoted cupboard built into one of the walls. To the left is a large, fully fitted kitchen with a French window leading to the garden, and to the rear is a storeroom and the boiler room. From the kitchen, there is access to a large room with a large bay window, currently used as an office. The first floor, with its beautiful oak roofing framework, includes a large 60 sqm master suite, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The whole farmhouse is in very good condition. It could be used as a guest house, or for grown-up children studying in Nevers, or as a gite. Outbuildings : They consist of : At the rear of the manor house and high up is the swimming pool (9 m. X 4 m.), perfectly intimate, with beautiful views and a pool house. A barn in very good condition spanning approx. 125 sqm on two levels with an awning opening on to a beautiful oak roof frame. It has exposed rubble stone walls with stone and brick window and door surrounds. The roof is covered in slate. On one side, two small rooms can be converted into an independent studio flat. It contains the stables, a kennel and a henhouse. There are also two sheds. The 16 acres of parklands are, like the manor's surroundings, bucolic, varied and undulating. Large fenced-in meadows surround the property, allowing animals to roam and the beautiful landscape and environment to be observed. The river runs through the park from east to west, crossing it via a very old stone bridge. An old dyke extending from the farmhouse is planted with an old line of lime trees, and at its end is a bowling green. There is a beautiful orchard with around twenty fruit trees that produce excellent fruit, and a red fruit garden completes the orchard. The entire park is planted with beautiful trees, offering a collection that resembles a small arboretum. A stroll through the grounds is a delight, with views over the beautiful Nivernais countryside and an abundance of varied vegetation. This property with its well-known history, set in beautiful protected countryside just 20 minutes from Nevers, offers a very relaxing setting in which to live. The two houses, the manor house and the farmhouse, have been completely renovated and can be used immediately in a variety of ways, either for a large family and friends, or as a bed and breakfast or gite.

THE VAUPRANGES MILL IN THE MORVAN In Mhère, at the Vaupranges Mill, a road winds down into the valley floor to a property crossed by the Anguison River. The stone building stands in front of the millrace and retains part of its mechanism, which is visible from the living areas. The house comprises nine rooms, including six bedrooms, spread over four levels, and is currently used as a vacation rental. Some rooms are in daily use, while others still need to be developed. Outbuildings, land, and a swimming pool complete the property. ARRIVAL AT THE VALLEY FLOOR Access follows a road that winds down through the woods to the valley floor. The mill is situated on the edge of the millstream, in an open setting of meadows and forest edges. Built around 1650, its proportions and location place it among the hydraulic structures of the Morvan region. The building has been restored in keeping with its original structure. The woodwork has been refurbished, the doors are made of oak, the floors have been insulated, and the utilities have been updated. The entryway leads to a first living area. The living room, featuring a fireplace, opens onto the landscape and extends into a wooden veranda overlooking the garden. The estate spans 2.18 hectares. It includes meadows, wooded areas, and the riverbanks. The Anguison River flows through the property and feeds the mill race, maintaining a direct link to the mill's original operation. THE MECHANISM ROOM In the guesthouse area, the large dining room?designed for receptions and events?is equipped with a professional kitchen and also houses the mill's machinery, which is visible and integrated into the dining space. The machinery remains in place, its operation clearly visible, and directly connects the property's current use to its history. A separate kitchen allows for optimal organization and is currently used for family gatherings. Some rooms are already suitable for extended stays, while others require targeted renovations to ensure the site's long-term sustainability. Outside, a south-facing terrace provides a setting for meals. The swimming pool, situated at a distance above the millrace, creates a second relaxation area used during the season. The possibility of restoring the hydraulic system, meanwhile, ensures tangible continuity. LIVING AND EVOLVING The house features nine rooms, including six bedrooms spread across four levels, allowing it to accommodate several people and maintain the guesthouse operation already in place. Three bathrooms complement this layout. The outbuildings, opposite the house?a former grain loft and a barn?expand the property's capacity. The property, spanning over two hectares, stretches across open areas, riverbanks, and forest edges, offering practical activities such as river fishing, hiking, or outings around Lake Settons. Access to the A6 highway in fifty minutes and the Montbard TGV station in one hour allows for a balance between staying on-site and traveling. AGENCY OPINION This mill in the Morvan is ideal for a buyer who wants to build upon an existing property to develop it over time. The existing machinery, the active millstream, and the current use as a guesthouse provide a solid foundation. The identified improvements support a clear path forward. Condominiums of 1 units. Annual expenses : 4500 euros.
